Eeep. A few minutes ago I stopped a nurse in the hall to ask about the PICU possibly donating some of the items on the list Kathy A linked to in Press last weekend, and she turned around and introduced me to the VP of the Children's Hospital, who was just coming out of one of the bathrooms that very second. The VP seemed really interested and excited, and at her request I just finished writing and sending her a detailed email about it.
I might actually be able to help people do something constructive. Eeep!

that pic makes me think Patrick Swayze. I think it's the hair.
Ooh, maybe that's why it skeevs me a bit.
What IS it with that, anyway? And why does a nap sometimes make you feel human again and sometimes make you groggy all evening UNTIL you go to bed, at which point you are wide awake?
Has to do with where you are in the sleep cycle, really. Best thing for naps is to go no longer than 40 minutes.
I'm lucky with naps -- I always feel better after one. But that's if my body lets me take one.
I'm a good napper also, but yeah, 15-30 minutes seems to work better than an hour or more.
They should have a permissible naptime at work. I always had to hide somewhere to get my 15-minute midday nap; without it, I could do nothing productive. It was a benefit to the company for me to have it, but really frowned upon if caught.

This is a research project I could get behind, or in front of, or under, or on top of, or something.
I had many sleep disruption issues this weekend so I am sitting around in my jammies taking a lazy day. We also have a tropical depression sitting here that is making it a stay home kind of day. Pray it goes north like it supposed to and not west.
The news item that Customs was sending 100's of thousands of items of counterfeit designer clothes to the victims was just plain cool. Yay for common sense.
I might actually be able to help people do something constructive. Eeep!
Yay, JZ!! I've just forwarded that address and list, as well as the address from Herself for larger-sized clothes, on to a few coworkers who expressed interest. I managed to cram all of my lighter-weight clothes donations into two boxes, and I'm sending a third box of my grandma's old quilt (not a family heirloom--Grandma always preferred making afghans over quilts), some toys, and the Clinique samples and giftbags of soap and lotion that I never seem to use.
I'm sending all my maternity wear, which is actually plus-sized real clothes (as I couldn't tolerate any of the maternity outfits I saw). Also, all the clothes Mal has outgrown, and whatever else I can find.
It's little enough, but it might help someone.
Aww. Bob Denver just died.
Just saw this post by CNN's Drew Griffin at the CNN blog page:
I am stunned by an interview I conducted with New Orleans Detective Lawrence Dupree. He told me they were trying to rescue people with a helicopter and the people were so poor they were afraid it would cost too much to get a ride and they had no money for a "ticket." Dupree was shaken telling us the story. He just couldn't believe these people were afraid they'd be charged for a rescue.
Um, hi. Back. Had a great time. Very tired. Disappointed to find that reality is still here, waiting for me.
